2025 NFL defensive line rankings: T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward propel Steelers to No. 1 (6. Detroit Lions - The Detroit Lions' defensive line may deserve a higher ranking based on on-paper talent, but there are quite a few question marks surrounding the health of its top players. While Aidan Hutchinson was on track to have a Defensive Player of the Year-caliber season in 2024 and led all edge defenders with a 94.9 PFF overall grade, it remains to be seen how quickly he can get back to his top form. Similarly, even though Alim McNeill is considered to be one of the best young interior defenders in the league and ranked ninth in 2024 with a 79.6 PFF overall grade, it remains to be seen when he'll make his season debut in 2025. Once that pair is back to full health, this unit could still very well be one of the best in the NFL.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2025-nfl-defensive-line-rankings

Biggest red flags for top 10 NFL contenders in 2025 (Detroit Lions: Staffing shakeups - If it were up to Dan Campbell, the Lions probably would've just run it back on the coaching staff. Instead, the beloved leader is set to enter 2025 without two of his right-hand men in Ben Johnson, the aggressive play-caller of Detroit's all-star offense; and Aaron Glenn, the rah-rah spokesman for the defense; after both coordinators landed top jobs of their own. Campbell's fiery touch is still as evident as the Lions' enviable skill talent. But weathering such a dramatic shift in sideline personnel is easier said than done. Just ask the Eagles of 2023.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/biggest-red-flags-for-2025-nfl-contenders-chiefs-offensive-line-vikings-quarterbacks-among-key-questions/

2025 Detroit Lions Training Camp: Schedule, dates plus offseason moves review (2. Detroit Lions - Former 18th-overall pick Jack Campbell has begun to emerge as one of the NFL’s best linebackers. His 78.7 PFF overall grade in 2024 ranked 10th, and he was one of just five qualifiers who earned at least a 74.0 PFF grade in run defense and coverage.  Alex Anzalone missed a handful of games last season but ranked just behind Campbell with a solid 72.1 PFF coverage grade. Malcolm Rodriguez posted an 87.1 PFF run-defense grade, seventh best in the NFL, but will likely miss at least half of the 2025 season due to a torn ACL suffered last November. When healthy, this is one of the best linebacker trios in the NFL.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/2025-detroit-lions-training-camp-dates-schedule-location
